By Kidjr Go To PostErect metaphorically, the magical moment when you find the perfect candidate. I jump up for joy man. Its the same feeling I get when I beat father Gascoigne. So damn hard so much work but bloody satisfying.You know this just from reading a resume? Doubtful
By Perfect Blue Go To PostYou know this just from reading a resume? DoubtfulHe said that and also this
By Kidjr Go To PostDef think people overthink them though
Seems a bit of a contradiction.
When I was updating my resume for this I interview, I was shocked how overly wordy it was. It's not like I even updated it that long ago
I finally get more than 2 hours of sleep on a work night and feel more sleepy than ever, 3 day weekend thanks ues
By diehard Go To PostI've never made a resume, please help me if I ever need to.People make it scarier than it needs to be. But in reality... it's not that hard.
I still need to update mine after quitting back in November.
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostI'm just happy I've never had to do one of those assessment centre day things. Grim as fuck.Those sound soul crushing.
My whole experience with resumes really comes to two points... When I was in college, trying to get a job while having nothing blockbuster and volunteer work to my name. Pain. And when I left the military not knowing what to do - but a friend showed me their old co-worker's resume and it was by the far the most pathetic, incoherent, jumbled piece of professional documenting I'd ever seen. The guy was making 115k a year with less experience than I had.
After that I've been mostly okay and all that anxiety around it has kinda gone.
By DY_nasty Go To PostThose sound soul crushing.Former military can get in those contract jobs that pay high. If you have a security clearance, even better.

I haven't had to do a resume since like 2014. I remember the last one I did was when I interviewed for a job at Random House. I actually forgot to bring a copy to my interview, but luckily the office secretary had it printed already. The dude interviewing me was wearing flip flops and a Hawaiian shirt; he just pulled up a chair in front of me and asked me 2 questions after glancing at my resume for 1 second before putting it aside: 1. If I ever had used Adobe In Design. 2. What was my favorite book ever. He then crossed his legs, took one of his flip flops off and started picking his feet intently while I answered. It was like a 5 minute interview and I left very quickly, avoiding to shake the dude's hand.
I didn't get the job. Apparently they just wanted an intern.

You mean how do I know they're the perfect candidate from reading the resume? Probably an over reach, but I guess because of the specificity of what I do I'd say 8 times out of 10 I'll know if I'm going to place a candidate.
What I meant by people to put to much thought into is that really you wanna be giving snap shot of your role responsibilities and deliverables. Keep interests off unless your applying to a start up imo.
I take it you truly understand how most resumes are fucking horrendous and you actually know what you want when hiring in the first place 😂 it's amazing what you can do when you're not looking for the wrong things in the first place.
I can write the fuck out of a resume. Written like 100 unique ones for every job I have applied to over the last few months

Bruh lool.
I understand why but uneccassary waffle is pet peeve of mine just from having to wade through so much of it.
Actually doing running interviews too... Ugh
Far too many people don't even believe you when you tell them they're putting their foot in their mouth. I remember this one accounting guy who had the math wrong in his resume (said something about managing funds for a substantially large group with x budget, but the numbers simply couldn't add up) and I asked him several times if there was a typo.
Nope. And he did it in a way that made it obvious to everyone else he had a problem with people younger than him asking him anything too. I pretty much invited him to keep digging and he wouldn't stop either. Dude talked his way out of a job he had then tried to trash us.

Me, a person with a Masters Degree in Project Management never put EXPERT on my resume.
If only he would have had "Expert" when it comes to Microsoft licensing, would been hired on the spot.
I've seen an actual expert with Excel and I've never been so humbled.
I found myself just wanting to tell them random things to see them collate and organize it all on the spot. It was like seeing a magic show in Vegas.

Resumes...
I remember being told at some point in college to keep the resume to a page... at most 2
And then having some tech recruiter show me a 10 page resume while telling me "you need to be more like this guy"
And that, friends, is when I became a monk at the nearest Buddhist monastery.

I absolutely hate getting resumes.
1. People don’t know how to take pictures. I have seen selfies, pictures at the beach, with hats on, with their friends, friends bodies cropped out but arms around them.
2. People post irrelevant shit. I sometimes get five pages of resumes that detail their fucking newspaper rounds in Wisconsin.

I don't think people know what to sell about themselves either tbh.... There is the occasional weirdo who loves the 10 page resume because they found their soulmate who's life story is the perfect retelling of their imagined companion but fuck that.
I hope I'll never have to take a picture for a resume either.... shit is just hustling backwards no matter how you look at it. The most damned if you do, damned if you don't part of resume/profile building imo. Want to be stereotyped even harder than normal? Too ugly? Too attractive? Look like someone's high school bully? Their old boss? Meet a quota? Don't meet the quota? They can figure out all that the moment I actually show up. And I can at least give myself the opportunity to address those perceptions as they begin to develop instead of walking into a meeting with people who've already developed an entire storyboard of my life based off of one picture.

Photos are requirements here in Korea.
When I was recently looking for a new job it was the most stressful part.

One of my best friends was from SK and she fucking hated it. She also started off in the fashion industry too sooooooooo yeah....
never seen a photo on a resume that gets accepted, it takes attention away from what you actually wrote there
By data Go To PostYou saying I shouldn't put my gym selfies on my resume ?
No but your gains should be described in excruciating detail.

Not surprised she hated. In Korea everyone has the exact same photo. Hair tightly tied back, white blouse, and a black or navy blazer. Also white or light blue background.
By Daz Go To Postyou get CVs with pictures?
I’m in Korea. If I don’t get one with a photo I automatically throw it in the bin.
And yeah, it is pretty much for the reason that first come to mind. Appearance is key.

Actually didn't know that. CVs here always have pictures but some of the "cooler" companies are trying to move away from that.
I hope pictures on resumes never catches on here. It’s already hard enough for the black man.
At least let me get in the door and surprise you that I’m black
